Waking up in the morning, Su He received a message from Yu Qing. "Night Walker" continued to gain popularity, and many variety shows extended invitations, including the highly anticipated Su He.
"Director... you know I have to deliver takeout. I don't have time to record a program..."
"Su He, this is an opportunity that many people would fight tooth and nail for. Don't you know how to appreciate it?"
"No, no, no... Director, you've misunderstood me. In this situation, you should pay me more!"
Pay? Yu Qing was bewildered. Who did Su He think he was to talk about money? It was already fortunate for a relatively unknown artist like him to appear on a program for free. How dare he ask for money!
Strictly speaking, Su He was just an extra at the moment, without a company or a manager. If he wanted to climb up the ladder, he might have to spend money. Many aspiring artists spent a lot of money just to make an appearance on variety shows.
"How much do you want?" Yu Qing was an important member of the production crew participating in the program, which meant that they were exchanging resources. All expenses were covered by the production crew.
"Two thousand yuan," Su He thought for a moment and replied. Delivering takeout for a day would earn him around a thousand yuan. If he wasted a day, he couldn't afford to lose money.
"Alright, be at New Star Film and Television Park at one o'clock in the afternoon. The recording starts at three. You'll also need makeup and the script. Don't be late."
"Okay, Director!"
After replying to the message, Su He logged into the takeout platform and started accepting orders.
"Ding! You have a new takeout order. Please handle it promptly."
There weren't many orders in the morning. After delivering during the morning rush, Su He found a breakfast shop to have noodles while scrolling through short videos on his phone.
The serial murder case had been solved, but it had a significant impact. Information about the culprit Liao Fan, a notable figure at the Capital People's Hospital who had saved the lives of over a hundred people, had been exposed by the media. The past between Liao Fan and the hospital director Ma Yihong was also revealed by insiders. Netizens overwhelmingly started supporting Liao Fan, but he had committed more than just those mistakes—he had also killed two innocent women.
The entertainment industry was also buzzing. Host Zhang Dada had been brutally murdered, and the process of his death alone could be the plot of a horror film. Netizens mourned his loss.
"Even if the whole world hates Zhang Dada, I will still stand with him..."
"Some news articles make me burst into laughter..."
Su He didn't pay much attention to the comments from netizens. Everyone has different pursuits in life, and death is inevitable. Over time, everyone involved in this case will gradually fade from people's memories and disappear.
After breakfast, Su He continued delivering takeout. It had rained heavily the day before, but today was sunny and bright. By the time it was almost noon, Su He was soaked from head to toe.
He had one last delivery to make, and it happened to be to New Star Film and Television Park.
"Hey, hey, hey... I can't bring the delivery inside. Someone has to come out and get it..." The security guard at the entrance stopped Su He.
"Excuse me, Miss Deng, your delivery has arrived. The security guard won't let me in... Could you please come out and get it?"
"You hand the phone to the security guard..."
Su He successfully walked in. It was his first time at the film and television studio, and it was quite large. After asking several people, he finally found his way, but at the entrance of the dressing room, he was stopped by a security guard.
"Su He, why did you take so long? Hurry up... Go change your clothes. You're covered in sweat. Take a shower first!" Yu Qing walked over from behind and pulled Su He into the dressing room.
"Director, wait, I still have a delivery..." Su He called Miss Deng. In the corner, Li Yifeng was getting his makeup done, and next to him stood a woman, Deng Shu, his manager.
"Forget about the delivery guy, here... What are you standing there for? Bring it over!" Deng Shu shouted loudly. Su He walked over and said, "Your delivery, enjoy your meal!"
Su He?
Li Yifeng turned his head and looked at Su He, smiling, "Are you really delivering food? I thought you were joking!"
Su He smiled but didn't say anything. He turned around to take a shower and change his clothes.
As soon as Su He left, Li Yifeng's expression instantly changed. He said coldly, "I don't want to eat it anymore, throw it away!"
"I'll give it a bad review..." Deng Shu threw the delivery bag directly into the trash can.
After taking a shower, Su He put on the clothes prepared for him by the program crew. It was the outfit of a rich second-generation character in a TV drama, and the makeup artist from the crew did his makeup.
Yu Qing handed Su He a script and asked him to familiarize himself with it as soon as possible.
Su He flipped through the script. This variety show was called "Ace Against Ace." It featured two comedy veterans and two entertainment stars as regular members, while Su He and others were invited guests who would interact and play various games together.
When Yu Qing asked Su He about his talents earlier, he casually mentioned that he knew a bit of cooking, singing, and calligraphy.
Su He didn't dare to mention his experience with suturing wounds or flying an airplane. He couldn't possibly perform a live demonstration of suturing wounds and flying an airplane on the spot!
In the script, there were segments for him to sing and perform calligraphy, but there was a note in parentheses saying: to be determined.
From now on, cameras were focused on Su He. As an extra, very few people knew him, not even the host knew how to introduce him.
The program crew found many videos about Su He online, which filled in his background information.
If it weren't for Director Yu Qing's strong recommendation, he wouldn't have had the qualification to participate in the show. You see, there were only four slots for guests, apart from the male and female leads, and including the director. The last remaining slot would naturally be given to a supporting actor with some fame.
With Su He's impressive acting skills, it was only a matter of time before he became popular.
In the backstage area, Li Yifeng and Song Yi were already prepared. Yu Qing led Su He over there.
Host Shen Tao was introducing the roles played by the four regular members, and the venue was filled with laughter and applause. Then, amidst gasps of surprise, the door in front of Su He opened, and Li Yifeng, Song Yi, Yu Qing, and Su He walked slowly towards the stage.
Shen Tao smiled and said, "These four guests who have come today are truly extraordinary. Our highly anticipated crime suspense web drama 'Nightwalker' features our old friend Li Yifeng, who plays dual roles of good and evil, creating an intense battle that will captivate the audience."
Facing the camera, Li Yifeng greeted, "Hello, everyone. I'm Li Yifeng. In the black and white mist, where the line between good and evil is blurred, with thrilling twists and turns, and boundless darkness, in this drama, I portray an undercover anti-drug police officer who is forced to rise from the abyss for the sake of his beliefs. I hope to bring you a different side of me."
After Li Yifeng finished speaking, Shen Tao continued, "Our female lead is also an old friend of ours, with a diverse acting career. Amidst the uncertain shadows, where truth and deception intertwine, what will her fate be?"
The camera shifted to Song Yi, who smiled and said, "Hello, everyone. I'm Song Yi. Once again, I'm on this stage, this dark night murder mystery. Welcome everyone to join in..."
After introducing the male and female leads, it was time for director Yu Qing. The host's words were brief: "Director Yu Qing, is there anything you would like to say to our audience about this drama?"
Holding the microphone, Yu Qing said, "Nightwalker, walking on the boundary between light and darkness, with its back to the light and facing the darkness. In the pursuit of truth, there is a beam of light that questions justice..."
Soon, it was Su He's turn. Host Shen Tao said, "Today, we have a new friend joining us on 'Ace vs. Ace.' Let's get to know him!"
"Hello, my name is Su He."
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
